Remember that George Scott card I received in the mail? A number of other bloggers received cards as well, and we decided it was some kind of viral marketing scheme. We were right. There’s a contest called Cardboard Fetish:
In July 2009, in conjunction with its 11th Annual Shrine of the Eternals Induction Day, the Baseball Reliquary will present Cardboard Fetish, a major exhibition celebrating baseball trading cards, past and present. The exhibition will be held at the Pasadena Central Library, Pasadena, California.
A major component of the exhibition will be a display of original and one-of-a-kind baseball trading cards designed by artists. The Baseball Reliquary is now accepting submissions for this unique exhibition in any format: original drawings, altered or manipulated cards, collages, computer-generated, etc.
Sounds like fun.


What kind of George Scott card was it? And what else did people receive?
@Chuck: It was a 1979 George Scott Topps card. I also received a 1978 Mark Fidrych card today. Some people got Buck Dent cards.
